Hands-on The mailed kit, worked over weeks
9 sections
Sections of Hands-on
- Why this is worked at home, in the kit
- Sess. 1 Safety wire: the direction, before the technique
- Sess. 2 Safety wire: the twist
- Sess. 3 Safety wire: three fasteners, then repetition
- Sess. 4 Cable swaging: the inspection hole
- Sess. 5 Torque wrench feel
- Sess. 6 Micrometer: reading, and then reading again
- What to send back
